Dominga Thompson
Senior Surgical Coordinator
"I think my best quality is I am open minded, flexible, accommodating and very supportive. It helps because when you deal with Bariatric patients this is a big step, some of them are scared, some of them took years to even make an appointment when you have patients like that you have to make everything as smooth as possible and be there for them every step of the way. Patient's tell me that I am their friend and there is an unexplainable joy I get from hearing that."
Keisha Smith
Service Coordinator
"Diabetes is one of the most life threatening illnesses associated with Obesity. Knowing that the patients have a chance of improving their quality of life is incredible to me. Patients may not suffer from diabetes or trouble with their vision, but may suffer from simple movement or trouble breathing. For me to see a patient be able to run, like the patient that shared the story of losing 100 lbs and just recently ran a 5k is truly amazing and that is what I love about this population."
Jessica Ott
Patient Coordinator
"I like that our patients LIKE coming to see the doctor! This is such a positive change for so many patients, and coming to see Dr. Bilof is a treat rather than a chore. I also love that so many patients are willing to tell other patients their experiences. It's refreshing to see an anxious new patient listening to someone who has been through every single thing that they are about to go through and be welcomed and get comfort from the existing patients at our office. I am always ready to do whatever is needed to ensure our patients feel comfortable and taken care of from the first call. This is a life changing experience for most of the patients that come in and each one is unique. I am told that I am upbeat and accommodating and happily patient. I am genuinely interested in each patient and listen for what they need."
Bella Baum
Certified Physician Assistant
"I have been in the healthcare field for several years and derive great satisfaction in being given the opportunity to make a positive change in people's lives. I want to make sure all of our patients are comfortable being with me or any member of the team. My style of patient care has been described as laid back, honest and friendly. I think it is important for patients to get 100% of my commitment, care and support every time I see or speak with them. I aim to give each and every patient the quality care and counsel they count on from our office. Seeing patients excited about their progress and the milestones in their improved health and mobility is rewarding! I know it is challenging anytime you start something new and I try to give to our patients what I would want in from a doctor's office."

Marisol Vazquez
Registered Dietitian
"I have worked with the needs of Bariatric patients for quite some time and thoroughly enjoy making the difference for them, their health and the ongoing journey they take on to shift the way they relate to their eating habits. Nutrition and small changes in behavior can make such a difference in their goals and objectives. Whether pre or post surgery, nutrition is critical to the success of any health regiment and being part of that positive change is why I am proud to be their nutritionist!"
